Dear Mum and Dad，
I'm very happy to spend some time with Lingling's uncle in Hunan province，and I'm having a wonderful time here in Wulingyuan Scenic and Historic Interest Area.It's very large，about 390 square kilometers，and it's a magic land of mountains，forests and rivers.It's famous for the strange shape of its all rocks.
Last night we camped by a small lake.During the night，I heard a loud noise，as if someone was laughing.I woke up Lingling and her uncle，and I asked them what the noise was.Lingling's uncle told us not to worry，and left the tent to find out what it was.After a few minutes，he told us to come out quickly.Then he pointed into the forest.It was a monkey.When it saw us，it jumped up into the trees and went back into the forest.
Tomorrow we're going to Mount Tianzi.I'll go back next week!Wish you were here!
Love，
Sally.

With the development of science and technology，communications are becoming easier and quicker now — people can use telephones，cellphones，fax machines and the Internet.It means that we seldom write letters now.But a TV show，Letters Alive （《见字如面》，is bringing back this old habit.
Letters Alive invites famous actors and actresses，but there are no funny jokes or different competitions.Instead，only one person walks up to a microphone and reads a letter.The letters were written by people from different times in history.For example，in one episode（集），they read a letter written by the famous writer Xiao Hong to her younger brother in 1941.The letter shows that Xiao Hong missed her brother so much and had great hopes for his future，
"Every letter opens another world for us，" said Guan Zhangwen，the director of the TV show. "It seems that we can experience the real lives and feelings of the writers".Since its first episode was on.Letters Alive has been widely praised.Many audiences（观众） say that it has provided a breath of fresh air to today's TV shows.
Besides Letters Alive，some other cultural TV shows have also attracted Chinese audiences.They include the Chinese Poetry Conference，a traditional Chinese poetry competition and Readers，a program that invites people to read poems and articles they like or wrote.It suggests that cultural values and true feelings are becoming our interest.

Screen﹣Free Days
I remember the first time I suggested screen﹣free days in our school to some of our student leaders.Jokingly，I said to the group， "What do you think if we go a week without using our laptops or smartphones？"
They laughed，and one of them said， "No way，Mr.White.They would be too much." I could feel their worry，and told them that I was only considering single screen﹣free days.Even that idea left them feeling upset.
According to a survey we did，most student in our school spend about six hours a day on screens.Many of my students start their day by checking their smartphones.I often see them looking at their phones when getting off the bus or at parents drop﹣off﹣they can't use their own "screens" at school.They usually work on computers at school for at least two hours during the day.
It's clear that our students spend a lot of time on screens，We do see the benefits of technology.However，we teachers also want to make sure that students have balanced learning and social experiences away from their screens.That's why we have come up with the idea of screen﹣free days.
During the course of the year，we have built in several screen﹣free days that require us to make different plans for our students about how they will communicate with one another and the world around them without "screens".For some teachers，this means bringing back a valuable lesson plan that has been put off for some time because it is "out of date".Others have designed something completely new.
Fun activities，for example，card games and room escape（密室逃脱） games，are organized at school.In these activities，students socialize without smartphones and have face﹣to﹣face communication without checking on "likes" they've got online.These fun activities also make it possible for the whole grade to enjoy the company of their friends with no smartphones.
After our first screen﹣free day，students mentioned that they were surprised they enjoyed it.Finding ways to help our students connect with one another is important.
While technology is already part of our world，it shouldn't play such an important role in a learner's life.

Once，there lived a wise man.His son，however，had no goal（目标）in life and wasn't happy.
As the years passed，the man was more and more worried.One day，he handed his son a map and said，"I want you to go and find a treasure."
The son set out eagerly （急切地）.He travelled really far，across forests and mountains.Finally，he reached the place and began to dig.He dug and dug，but nothing was found.Tired and sad，he decided to go back home.
On his way back，he noticed dancing birds and beautiful flowers.He met happy farmers in the fields.He found everything nice!
He got home，and his father asked，"How was your journey to the place？Did you enjoy it？"
"of course not!I was worried that someone else would find the treasure before I did.But I really enjoyed the journey back home and forgot the pain of not finding the treasure." The son continued to tell his father what he noticed on his way back.
"Nice things are always there，" the father smiled "My son，I want you to have a goal.If you don't have a goal，you won't set out.But if the goal is the only thing in your mind，you'll miss something nice and won't be happy.So remember：It's important to have a goal in life and enjoy the journey as well".
